As a user or agent using your helpdesk, Deskpro will set a number of cookies. These cookies are used to make the experience better and in some cases are essential for the proper function of the software.

These are session identifiers for each of the three major interfaces in Deskpro. A session ID is used to help store various state connected with your current browser session. For example, if you log-in, then the session ID is used to store the fact that you're logged-in. Without sessions, there'd be no way for Deskpro to save any state as you browsed around the helpdesk.
